Abstract

This study aims to determine and analyze the influence of perceived organizational support and inclusive leadership on employee innovative behavior at financial institutions in Semarang City both directly and indirectly between these variables by applying an intervening model, where extrinsic motivation acts as an intervening variable. This research was conducted because there are still employees who have not reached the optimal level of innovative behavior and there are differences in results from previous studies.
The population of this study is the entire labor force working in Semarang City, totaling 873,358 people. The Slovin technique was used to determine the sample. The sample was collected through non-probability sampling technique with purposive sampling type, which was selected based on predetermined criteria. The sample consisted of 141 respondents. Data collection used was a questionnaire with a Likert scale from 1 to 7. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques, which included a series of steps such as assumption testing, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability testing, goodness of fit evaluation, causality testing, and empirical model testing.
The results of this study indicate that organizational support, inclusive leadership, and extrinsic motivation directly have a positive and significant effect on employee innovative behavior.Extrinsic motivation is able to mediate organizational support on innovative behavior significantly, while inclusive leadership is not significant.It is still necessary to improve employee welfare, leadership availability, company policies, and realization of ideas.Future research is expected to examine other variables related to employee innovative behavior.
